To blog or not to blog, was my one big question.
Keeping in touch on line, I thought might be one solution.
Can I reconnect with family and friends with no interruption, follow my blog and check out my life's celebration.

Textile Tuesday - Used tennis balls

It was a rainy day yesterday so I stayed home and continued my sewing projects. I completed the rest of the Binki clips as well as a couple of reversible aprons that was an order from Jane. After all of these were done, I sat for a few minutes and wondered what I should do next since it was still mid afternoon. Then I realized I need to look for a small box for a package I needed to ship. While in the garage I noticed the big basket of used tennis balls that we have collected since I moved here which was five years ago. So there's a lot. At one time I was going to donate it to the school around the corner so they can use it for their kids program, but I completely forgot about it. I asked Jeff if he has any idea on what we can do with them. He said "google it". So I did and immediately I got excited. I saw a photo and I knew I could do it without having a pattern, etc. As of today I have completed two and I will give the first one I made to my friend Debbie so she can test it on her three doggies. If it passes, then I will get busy and make as many as I can using all the tennis balls we have. What is great about it is that I can use all the left over textile from all the different projects I have made. They will definitely be so colorful the dogs would love to play with it. Wait a minute, I need to name it. In honor of my SIL's dog, I will name this the Tango Toy.

About Me

Why Cranberry Portage?

There is a small town somewhere in Manitoba named Cranberry Portage. My husband's great grandmother owned a small property there. While looking for a recipe, I stumble on a cookbook from Cranberry Portage. During my daughter's recent visit we talk about having a name for our home which becomes a bed and breakfast for our Canadian visitor. She suggested Cranberry Portage and I loved it.So the name of my blog was born.
